Monolith"Domination"

Two years after his HANDS debut Crashed, Belgian veteran Eric van Wonterghem pushes for Domination - his 9th album total: With all the expertise of over three decades in underground music, the rhythm unit that is Monolith is bound to conquer the industrial techno dance floors of the present age, with a hypnotic and abrasive sound that is as timeless as it has a championship pedigree. Notably rougher than its predecessor, Domination is about no-nonsense, sub-130 bpm techno pulses and stumbling beats, with a healthy dose of darkness and some experimental ethnic soundscapes thrown in for the good measure of the full length album. Tested positive to exercise domination on the FORMS OF HANDS 2016 audience, this is a good hour of physically playable electronics at the best.
